We had a first floor room. It was no frills and there is no elevator, but the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning kept the room cool and comfortable, and it was walking distance to all the sites we were interested in visiting. There is a convenient take away coffee shop across the street from the hotel entrance. There is also a cleaners a short distance up the street where we dropped off some clothes for wash, dry and folding. That was affordable and convenient, so we didn’t waste time dealing with laundry. Our room had a small but useful balcony, and a larger balcony was located on the top floor.

Excellent central location and charming stay!
We had a fantastic time at Kimon Hotel Athens. The hotel is in a perfect spot in the Plaka area just a short walking distance to the Acropolis, which made exploring so easy and convenient. It’s also close to all the best restaurants, shops, and attractions, so we never needed taxis or public transport for most things.
George is absolutely the best, he was incredibly helpful and made our stay even better! We really had fun during our time here.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to be right in the heart of historic Athens. We’d happily stay here again!

The Kimon Hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Plaka, with almost everything you want to see within easy walking distance.
The property and our room were spotlessly clean. It’s a small, intimate hotel with just a handful of rooms, so don’t expect a large 5-star resort. Instead, we loved its authentic charm and the cozy, quaint atmosphere. George at the front desk was genuinely friendly and always quick to offer excellent recommendations for local restaurants and cuisine.
We stayed on the third floor and enjoyed a lovely view of the Acropolis. The illuminated ruins at night were absolutely stunning from our balcony…a highlight of our stay.
A couple of practical notes: There is no elevator, so be prepared for stairs. If you have heavy luggage, you can leave it at the front desk for the duration of your stay.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily return.

This place was in great location and I felt completely safe there as a solo female traveler. The room was comfy and clean. The staff was great, so friendly. The only thing that was hard was the 2.5 flight of stairs to my room with my luggage was a bit rough for me but I did it. LOL Just beware if you have trouble with stairs. Otherwise it was a nice stay. The hallways were rundown but I thought my room was quite nice.

Fabulous location for such a reasonable price with genuine rooftop patio view of the Acropolis. At least a dozen good restaurant options within a 5-minute walk .

I recently stayed at Kimon Hotel in Athens and wanted to share a few important points for fellow travelers. First, there is no elevator in the building. We were placed on the third floor, and getting there required climbing steep stairs and walking across a rooftop patio — not ideal when carrying large suitcases.

The room was a bit dated, but it was spacious and reasonably priced. That said, there was an ant infestation in the bathroom. The ants got into our toiletry items, which was unpleasant. I wish I had taken a photo to document it, but it was definitely a problem.

One of the more surprising aspects of the stay was the absence of a 24/7 front desk or concierge. It felt more like an Airbnb setup than a proper hotel. On top of that, we didn’t receive any room cleaning or housekeeping during our three-night stay. Unless you place a \"Do Not Disturb\" sign, the assumption should be that rooms will be cleaned daily — that didn’t happen, and no one followed up.

While the location is central and the price was fair, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Between the accessibility challenges, lack of basic hotel services, cleanliness concerns, and limited staff presence, I would likely not stay at Kimon Hotel again.

We stayed one night, they took care of our luggage while we explored the city. Good room, big, a little old, the bathroom needs to have some shelves / bigger counter to put your items or clothes. The bad thing is that there is no elevator so you need to go up the stairs carrying your luggage. Also, if you need any help finding something like transportation, there is no 24 hour front desk. Other than that it is in a great location, close to everything.

This is an older hotel. Although the size of the room was more than sufficient, the bathroom was a bit small. However, the room has a fridge and ample closet/storage space. And, the hotel is centrally located (10 minutes walk) near Syntagma Square. The hotel is close to numerous restaurants, bars, shopping, the subway, etc. Even though the hotel does not have an elevator, I would stay here again, especially considering that the price is much less that other hotels in the area.

great location but the noise keeps you awake at ni

Location is top notch...Price for this is also good.

The issues I faced were the noise in the room at night of singers at restaurants, cars/trucks and people talking. the walls are quite thin and so sleeping can be tough. Also the church nearby dings every half hour

The bathrooms are also quite poor. the Shower is very small, no place to put anything.

An excellent overnight stay in a central location following our Greek cruise.

No lift in the building, however staff were very kind with arranging a first floor room for us when we arrived, early check-in, and brilliant communication in the lead up to our stay. Everything was perfect, beds were comfortable, and the balcony overlooking the lively street area such a fun bonus. Staff warm and friendly, and very helpful with directions on getting to key sights.

What an excellent location. So close and walkable to all the main sites and great restaurants. The front desk staff is so helpful. Mary definitely went above and beyond for us. We (myself, husband and son) had room 303. What a fabulous room! It was on the top floor and opened up to a beautiful shared terrace that had a nice view of the acropolis. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The main room had a king size bed that was extremely comfortable and a small mounted TV. Another section had a large TV and a nice sized sofa. On the other side of the bedroom area, there was a small area that had a twin bed and the bathroom. The bathroom was more than adequate, but the shower area was very small. The hotel provided olive oil soap and shampoo. As others have mentioned, there is not an elevator on site and as we stayed on the third floor, we had many stairs to navigate….but it was worth it. It was so nice to have breakfast on the terrace and be able to see the acropolis. The terrace is much larger than what I thought it was based on photos I had seen. The hotel does have air-conditioning, but we were there in the middle of a heat wave and the room never really got very cool. However, we keep our air very low at home so that may just be something that was particular to us. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Athens.

Great little spot close to everything (in an easy 12 min walk, you could have almost all the dining, shopping, Acropolis, and Metro station options you need). The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed (space is compact and functional). There was a great upper terrace for relaxing or catching an Acropolis view at night). Most notably, the staff was absolutely amazing! George (who worked most of the four days we were there) gave us a bunch of local food recommendations, was always right there with guidance, and went out of his way to assist with everything (from umbrellas to trains).

It is located in the center of downtown Athens with easy access to Plaka and other neighborhoods with lots of shopping, restaurants, etc. The main orthodox cathedral is across the street. Coming here by train it is better to stop at Syntagma Square, to you go downhill to the hotel. and leaving, it is better to use Monastiraki Square (to keep going downhill). They do not have night staff but leave you a # to call in case of emergencies. We had no issues and this place was so close to so many attractions that cannot talk better about it.

Friendly, helpful staff.
Very walkable location close to Plaka and most ancient Athens sights.
Close to public transport.
Property is a little old and dated but in good condition and is kept clean.
The only downside is street noise late into the night. We like open windows but closing them and using the ac was the better choice.
I would stay here again.

Athens first time

We had a very nice stay in Athens. George greeted us and recommended a nice breakfast place across the street. We were within walking distance of the Acropolis and Plaka.

In a quiet location walking distance from a lot of restaurants and the acropolis. The view of the acropolis is not necessarily spectacular, but it is visible from the roof top patio. We were able to walk from the subway station to the hotel with our carry-on luggage

Excellent 24 stay in the centre of Athens!

George at the front desk is so welcoming and friendly. He gave me really good recommendations on how to get the most out of my stay in Athens. The rooms very cozy, very clean, with a nice balcony. Wifi was reliable and air conditioning was perfect. Location was amazing! Walking distance to everything, including metro. I would definitely stay here again!!

What a gorgeous place to stay, with an open terrace overlooking the Acropolis and in the heart of the shopping district. The family room is on the top floor and opens directly onto the terrace. The room was perfect for 4, clean and wonderful. This hotel offers a great experience, and the staff were very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel. We stayed on the third floor and that meant a lot of stairs. The staff was very helpful. The only criticism I have is that the description of the rooftop view of the acropolis was misleading. It is only a partial view. You cannot clearly see the parthenon from the terrace.

Really lovely stay! Great room with a cute little balcony all to myself; freshly revamped bathroom with fantastic new shower (tiny, but it’s in an older European building, so it’s exactly what one should expect for size.) Beds were a bit a spare at first glimpse but actually quite comfy! There’s a gem of a terrace on the top floor that peeks at the Acropolis and the nearby cathedral; the location is perfect for being close to all a tourist needs. Despite the proximity to the life of the quarter, the heavy blackout curtains and room shutters made for a perfectly dark room when snoozing. Bring your earplugs if you’re a light sleeper! (Not a fault of the hotel-nearly anywhere in the Plaka, you’ll need them.) The staff was very kind and accommodating, so hospitable. Highly recommend! If I’m ever in Athens again, I’d definitely try to stay with them!

A real gem!

Beautiful little hotel in a convenient location in Athens! Close to metro and main attractions as well as restaurants and supermarket. We arrived early and because we had let them know in advance, one of our rooms was ready early for us! No breakfast included, but we had an early departure, so it wasn’t an issue.

Excellent stay

This was my oasis after a long trip from Canada. It was sparkling clean. The bed was super comfortable. I had a little balcony and there was a rooftop patio with acropolis views! Was central to everything I could hope for yet quiet street. Only down side was the stairs up to my room numbering 45. But beautiful clean white marble circular stair made it a pleasure. Safely was never a worry as Kimon is very secure.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for a no frills, quiet place in the center of it all.

The hotel was right at the Plaka and only a 15 min walk to the entrance of the Acropolis. We had arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 4 am, we were quoted a price of 55 euros to the airport. The front desk gentleman helped arrange it and asked if we wanted to pay cash or charge to my credit card on file so we said cc. His English was excellent so were confident with the arrangement. The taxi cab arrived on time but then said we owed 61.50 euros. He didn’t speak any English and our Greek was minimal unfortunately. We were under the impression that the hotel paid already, plus the total quoted was only 55. We did end up paying the cab and contacted hotel. They said Gas surcharge was just implemented that day, but clearly hotel front desk has zero clue. So beware that if you stay here that the hotel does NOT pre/pay taxi and get it writing what the you’re quoted for rate prior to departure.

I had an economy room that was very efficient. It was very cozy, and the bed was great! Small surprises like the cordial and sweet bites found at the end of the day on my desk were extra special treats. I really appreciate the location, at the foot of the Plaka and in the middle of everything else.

Just what we needed.

This hostel had absolutely everything we needed for a one night stay. We arrived before check in and our room was ready, which we really appreciated after our long flight from Australia. It was in the heart of Athens and eveything was in walking distance including the Acropolis. The bed was super comfy and we would definately stay again.

Unpleasant

No elevator. Policy of no visitors, which is horrible, given that we do pay for our stay and should have visitors as we like as long as they are behaving and as long as they don’t sleep over. Imagine somebody on a business trip but cannot meet anybody at his hotel room. The hotel has no lobby at all. I don’t know if you consider 2 old chairs next to the main entrance as a lobby! Rooms are not cleaned or arranged every day. We stayed 7 nights, and the room was not cleaned or arranged at least 3 days (I mean 3 times, which also included no clean towels either for those 3 days. One of the front desk lied about asking one of our visitor for IID and information as that was the occasion we found out that no visitors are allowed. The visitor wanted to actually confront and rebuke the front desk person when we informed him about what the front desk said. The remaining front desk personnel were friendly, but the hotel policies were unacceptable. Location is good, but I would never stay at this hotel again.

Great situation, great beds and showers.

We've stayed here before and love the situation, the scale and character of the hotel. The beds are the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel, memory foam, and with neck support pillows too. The shower is great, all-singing, all-dancing. But ... the room felt really tired - the bathroom window didn't close securely, the shower door handle kept falling off, the tiles round the doorway hadn't been properly finished off, and on the first day, the towels and bathmat (clean) were frayed and holey. I can live with these things, as the room was clean and comfortable, but it feels like a bit of TLC is needed. Staff are friendly and helpful, including help with lugging the suitcase up a lot of stairs! Would I stay here again? Yes, but I hope they sort out the little niggly things.
